Harmony Korine, the enfant terrible writer/director who gave us Kids, Gummo and Julien Donkey-Boy, returns after an eight-year hiatus with this surreal, whimsical comedy about an island commune of impersonators.
Diego Luna (Y Tu Mamá También) plays a disillusioned Michael Jackson impersonator whose faith is restored when he meets Marilyn Monroe (Samantha Morton) and she informs him of a magical Scottish island where impersonators are free to pretend to be someone else. Once at the island the pair's obvious mutual attraction develops, but under the watchful eye of Marilyn's vindictive husband, Charlie Chaplin (Denis Lavant).
If all of this isn't strange enough, these events are also interspersed with snippets from another storyline involving Werner Herzog as a priest training a group of sky-diving nuns... Replacing the acrid harshness of his earlier work with a playful charm, Mister Lonely is a (slightly) more accessible introduction to Korine's uniquely askew world-view.
